"The Green Mile " Intense and about a mile long.

By Ted Pfeifer

A long intense film that once again shows us how good an actor Tom Hanks is. Hanks stars along with Michael Clarke Duncan who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor star as prison guard and prisoner in a movie that is both touching and intensely shocking.

This movie is an adaption of a series of Stephen King books and is written and directed by Frank Darabont whom also directed the great "Shawshank Redemption". This film is not as good as "Shawshank" but does have some great moments that involve the electric chair.

The movie is long at over three hours and loses a little at the end when it gets too cute. Rent this movie but make sure you have enough time.
